This book goes into what happens when the law doesn't punish those who many feel should be punished. The people who committed genocide starting just after World War I and the consequences of the lack of action and how it pertained to the aftermath of The Second World War. It was a rough read and many times I felt myself getting mad at the lawyers who represented the individuals who participated in the various atrocities mentioned in this book. I believe that I show more learned quite a bit about a part of history that seems to be glossed over. show less

War Crimes of the Deutsche Bank and the Dresdner Bank: Office of the Military Government (U.S.) Reports by Christopher Simpson
It is a shame that the bankers for the Third Reich were not punished rather than rewarded with the task of handing out American aid after the war. Hermann Abbs should have hung. The bank is a criminal enterprise and should be barred from doing business in the United States.
